[GNC] GnuCash build 5.13

[Sherlock Holmes]

John,

I was able to reproduce the issue after I saw your initial response.  
Would you like me to take look?  From your description, it sounds like 
the gnc_state_save needs to be called before the GUI components are 
destroyed.

Regards,

Sherlock

I suspect that it’s another side effect of https://github.com/Gnucash/gnucash/commit/4c09a0feee698855f095f9729a4856033cbd0522. gnc_state_save is called immediately *after* gnc_close_gui_component_by_session which is supposed to destroy all of the GUI components having the state, thereby relying on the components being leaked.
